Wrens and Bluebirds Fighting.

The bluebirds early took possession,
and In June their first brood had flown.
The wrens had been hanging around,
evidently with an eye On the place
such little comedies may be Witnessed
anywhere-and now very naturally
thought it was their turn. A day or
two after the young bluebirds had
flown l noticed some fine, dry grass
clinging to the entrance of the cavity,
q circumstance which I understood a
few moments later, when the wren
rushed by me into the cover of small
Norway spruce, holly pursued by the
male bluebird. It was brown streak
and blue streak pretty close together.
The wrens had gone to housecleaning,
and the bluebird had returned to find
his bed and bedding being pitched out
of doors, and had thereupon given the
wren to understand in the most en-
phatic manner that he had no intentions
of vacating the premises so early in the
season. Day after day, for more than
two weeks, the male bluebird had to
clear his premises of these intruders.
It occupied much of his time and not a
little OF mine, as [ sat with book in a
SUNNI r-house near by, laughing a. his
pretty fury and spiteful onset On two
occasions the wren rushed under the
chair in which I sat, and streak of
blue lightning almost flashed in NV
face. One day, just as I had passed
the tree in which the cavity was placed,
I heard the wren scream desperately;
turning, saw the little vagabond fall
into the grass with the wrathful blue
bird fairly upon him. The latter had
returned just in time to catch him, and
was evidently bent on furnishing him
well. But in the squabble in the grass
the wren escaped and took refuge in
the friendly evergreen. The bluehird
paused for moment with outstretched
wings looking for the fugitive, then
flew away. A score of times during the
month of June did [ see the wren tax
ing every energy to get away from the
bluebird. He would dart into the stone
wall, under the floor of the summer
house, into the weeds-anywhere to
hide his diminished head. The blue
bird with his bright coat looked like a
policeman in uniform in pursuit of some
wicked, rusty little street gamin. Gen
orally the favorite house of refuge of
the wren was little spruce, into which
their pursuer made no attempt to fol-
low them. The female would sit con-
cealed amid the branches, chattering in
scolding, fretful way, while the male,
with his eye upon his tormentor, would
perch on the topmost shoot and sing.
Why he sang at such times whether
in triumph and derision, or to keep his
courage up and reassure his mate-I
could not make out. When his song
was suddenly cut short, and glanced
to see him dart down into the spruce,
my eye usually caught twinkle of blue
wings lowering near. The wrens
finally gave up the fight, and their
enemies reared their second brood in

Barring Highway Robbery ON Thompson
Road

Barring Highway Robbery ON Thompson
ID. Holman, the wholesale liquor
dealer, and Charles w. ONeill, the
attorney, went To Thompson Falls
last Saturday where Mr.. Holman
had small suit in the Justices
court. They had made preparation
to return early on Sunday morning,
but concluded to await the arrival Of
the west bound train, which comes
along shortly after s o'clock. They
were on the platform as the train
crept into the depot, and were
greeted by John Hackett, of ST.
/ Paul, the gentleman who bought the
Hunter mine for Dennis Ryan. He
had intended To go to Spokane Falls,
but Messrs. Holman and ONeill
were 80 persistent for his company
that he went into the car, got his
hand satchell, and accompanied bis
friends. Before lea wing the depot
Mr.. Hickman asked Mr.. ONeiil if
he had got the package for the Bank
of Murray at the express Office. He
said hc had and the party
proceeded directly to Sales
stables, secured horses and rode to
the ferry. Less than ten minutes
were occupied in going from the de-
pot to the ferry, and 1t would have
been impossible for anyone TO have
crossed the river ahead of them in
that time, as the ferry WAS in wait
ing. The party rode along for two
miles, Mr.. Holzman getting q short
distance ahead. Mr.. ON2ill, finding
Mr.. Hackett had slow horse, dis
mounted and cut II switch for him.
When they got under way again MIR.
Holman was out of sight. They
logged along fora few minutes, when
they saw Mr.. Hozman with his
right hand raised above his head,
and the left holding the bride of his
horse, which was very restive, and
with his head turned towards them,
while a man with rifle in his hands
stood along the roadside, near Il grove
of scattered pines. Mr.. ONeill says
he thou ght Mr.. HOlzuian was beckOn-
ing them to come on, and took the
roadagent to be hunter. AS they
rode up in gallop the highwayman
turned his battery on the new mr.
rivals, and MIR. Holman, seing his
NAL, ne carried his rider cut OF sight
in a twinkling around curve in the
road. s'StOp,D was the quiet COM
mand Of the modern Dick Turpin, as
the newcomers came within

voice, "pull off your clothes" There
was Il hesitation about complying,
when tile second demand was made,
in u more peremptory tone, ''Pull

themselves of their coats and threw
them ON the ground. "Puil off your

trict will hold its own with the most

suppress the practice.
